Here's an example,
Bringing Mobile Phone To School
[Issue] Students
are not allowed to bring mobile phone to school. The reasons why they shouldn't
bring mobile phone are: avoiding losing mobile phone and disturbing the lesson
time.
[Argument
against] This policy causes parents to react. Some of
them disagrees. They think students need to bring mobile phone in order to be
easy checked and controlled. Some parents say that they may call their children
every break time to check whether they are in the school or not. Other parents
state that they don't want their children to come home late. By bringing mobile
phone they are able to call their children after school off.
[Argument
against] Students also have some objections. They need
mobile phone to tell their family to pick them up after school. Beside that,
they need mobile phone to access the internet to search some information they
need during the lesson.
[Argument
for] But, some other parents think differently. The parents agrees if
the school prohibits students to bring mobile phone. They say that bringing
mobile phone to school is useless. They are afraid their students are busy with
their mobile phone. They are only calling, sending text, chatting and receiving
inappropriate file during the school time. They are also worried if the mobile
phone is missing.
[Recommendation]
By hearing to those arguments, the school decide some policies.
The policies state that students may bring mobile phone but they should leave
their mobile phone in the teachers' room. They may take their mobile phone
after school time.
